Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - April 7, 2026 [Doof]![]() From Monica How much do you spend to look your best? Probably not as much as this lady! Ivy League alum turned PR boss explains why she spends [$12K] per year on hair, nails, Botox An Ivy League graduate and the owner of a PR firm revealed why she spends $12,000 (over ₹11 lakh) a year on beauty treatments and clothes, especially after moving from New York to Utah. In a conversation with Business Insider, she revealed that she undergoes the pricey procedures to keep up with beauty standards. “Utah has a slower pace, less diversity, and a more conservative culture, but one of the biggest challenges is the pressure to maintain a youthful, fresh appearance. Even though NYC is very focused on appearance, it's not as bad as Utah,” Hilary Reiter Azzaretti told the outlet, adding that she felt Utah was very “beauty-centric and that a lot of people here cared about longevity, wellness, and appearance.” *** She explained, “Half the pressure is self-induced. Outsiders might perceive younger PR people as more on top of trends, especially with social media. That's not always true, since PR is a relationship-driven business, but because it feels that way, trying to hide your age soothes your ego,” adding, “The other half comes from what you see on the job. There are a lot of influencers in Utah, so I'm inundated with images of beautiful people every day. It feels inevitable that you'll place greater emphasis on your appearance based on what you're seeing.”I used the link above because the one I wanted to use requires registration. Your call if you want to do so. ----- This lady takes a different approach. Dutch Politician Expelled from Her Party for Editing Her Publicity Photo Too Much ![]() A Dutch city councillor has been kicked out of her political party after editing her publicity photo so heavily that she became unrecognisable. Looking at her publicity photo, you’d be tempted to think that Patricia Reichman is the youngest-looking 59-year-old woman in the world. We’ve featured our share of “ladies of eternal youth” on Oddity Central over the years, but Reichman definitely takes the cake. Only, in reality, she looks very different; some would say she is a totally different person. *** The Dutch councilwoman faced a lot of criticism after photos of her next to the one she obviously edited went viral online, but she continued claiming that she genuinely looks a lot younger than 59. “When I’m out and about with my son, people often assume I’m his girlfriend,” she said. “I hear it all the time, that I look remarkably young for my age.”So you're telling me there are fake photos of people online? As Ace sometimes says, I shan't believe it. I shannot. ----- Happy Anniversary to The Bad News Bears!

Indian counting lesson: a "lakh" is 100,000. Or, as they write it, 1,00,000. So $12000 is 1.1 million rupees. Next up is a "crore," 10,000,000. Or 1,00,00,000.

--- $1000 a month for hair, nails, Botox, and clothes isn't that much. Mani/pedi easily $200 Haircut $100+ easily plus products another $100 Botox easily another $100-$200 Makeup is expensive And you can easily spend $1000 a month just on clothes, shoes, not to mention a single purse could easily top that.

I thought Ford was doing a good job considering what the country was going through. Carter seemed too inexperienced and kinda weak. So my first vote was a loss.

I saw a video from Johnny Harris explaining why the western world economy exploded and China's froze and even regressed starting in the 1800s.
And the first half was ok - he pointed out it was capitalism. And then he even got into Deng Xiao Ping and how his experiments with capitalism made China the power it is today. Oh, did I mention Mr Harris is one of those voxplainer guys? Yes so the second half covers why capitalism is bad. Did you know not everyone's wealth increased at the same rate? And have you heard of GLOBAL WARMING?!? Why its going to kill us all! We have only 12 years left to save the planet! Posted by: 18-1 at April 07, 2026 10:24 PM (sKqQm) 89

You realize The Flintstones will be 66 effin' years old this fall? Put in perspective, when it premiered in 1960, 66 years back was 1894.
Who recalls the other prime-time cartoon series that followed in its wake? The Alvin Show with the Chipmunks on CBS, The Bugs Bunny Cartoon Hour on ABC ("Overture -- dim the lights; this is it, we'll hit the heights . . ."), and Top Cat -- I think that was an NBC show. Plus Jonny Quest, four years later, an entirely new kind of animated show. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at April 07, 2026 10:25 PM (wzUl9) 92

Carter vs Ford. The first time I could vote. I voted for Ford.
I thought Ford was doing a good job considering what the country was going through. Carter seemed too inexperienced and kinda weak. So my first vote was a loss. But as time went on my thought was I voted for the better guy. My next vote for President was Reagan. And the next vote was for Reagan. I have never voted for a Democrat for President.

The woman who spent $12k to look like that...welp. I'd hate to see what she looked like before the work! Needs her honker nose shaved down a bit still. Golly.
Needs to practice not looking insane in front of cameras would help as well. I'm so perfect I'm going to bed early tonight. On the Rich Girl song...my husband initially thought I was a wealthy girl with a father having a yuge ranch. Because when running short of $ I'd call him and ask him to sell "one of my cows." I had two out of his herd of 200+. I also did not know they only had one calf per year to sell. My father, on the other end of the phone, would simply send money vs explaining it to me. A 200 acre farm is not land baron style ranching, more of a hobby farm. He did not marry me for my money, nor did I marry him for his. We were po' white folk starting out. And glad of it. I never asked my parents for a dime after I graduated college or we married. Which explains why my father was so thrilled to marry me off. Surprised I did not come with a dowry! Here!

Famously played Alice Kramden on The Honeymooners. The Flinstones were pretty much a knock-off of the Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason got mad and wanted to sue Hanna-Barberra over it.

Yeah, Ford had a couple of klutzy moments and never lived it down.
Biden wandered off in the woods, took headers down the stairs, tripped on cables and ate dirt, crapped his pants at the Vatican, crapped his pants on Marine One (and bragged about it!), got kidnapped by the Easter Bunny, repeatedly wandered off of stages with his arms up like Cornholio, and we were all assured he was a sharp-as-a-tack badass who could still play football if he wasn't so busy being our fearless leader.

With the music click behind the top pic, YouTube sidebar offered up a Shroud of Turin link. Some of these are okay, others annoying. Also, I'm pretty familiar with about everything they have to say. At over 34 minutes, I wasn't going to watch, but I did, watching at 1.5x.
https://youtu.be/QttVlxa0IRI Aside from a couple of "what do you think? Leave a comment" interruptions, it was pretty thorough and up-to-date with everything I know at least, from Segundo Pia's groundbreaking photography to the 3-D computer analysis, the "debunking" based on a piece of the repairs not the original cloth, to the pollen and blood and scourgemarks validations. One bit I hadn't known. Scientists determined that the image method was able to be duplicated, on a very small scale. To create the image on the Shroud, though, would take "a simultaneous energy pulse of 34 trillion watts lasting less than a billionth of a second." Whoa! The meaning of Jesus' raising, physical body or what, is of course a long running debate with theological implications. The method by which the Shroud image could be formed likewise.

Of all the explanations for its creation, the one I've found the most intriguing was in The Urantia Book, a self-proclaimed revelation from the first half of the 20th Century. When Jesus rose, his body still lay in the tomb. The UB says that the angels received permission from the celestial bureaucracy that, rather than watch the Master's mortal body decay, they asked " for immediate dissolution. We do not propose to employ our technique of dematerialization; we merely wish to invoke the process of accelerated time" "…a return of the 'dust to dust,' without the intervention of the delays of time and without the operation of the ordinary and visible processes of mortal decay and material corruption." Such a process could create the kind of high-powered flash needed to create the Shroud image.
However, after Mary and Peter and John had seen the burial cloths lying there undisturbed, the captain of the temple guards was sent to the tomb, "to remove the grave cloths. The captain wrapped them all up in the linen sheet and threw them over a near-by cliff." If the Shroud is authentic, SOMEone found the bundle at the bottom of the cliff. The UB has nothing to say about that. Heh. Posted by: mindful webworker - mysteries of history 2 of 2 at April 07, 2026 11:45 PM (Qlfju) 275

"Rolling ceasefires" aside (funny term from earlier MidEast wars), prospects for an actual end to festivities with Iran seem miniscule (duh). First, there has to be free movement through the Strait. Second, if accurately reported, the US demands in negotiations during the 2 weeks are comprehensive and proper, meaning there's no chance any of them will be agreed to.
Israel, with Gaza, avoided the tremendous danger of ceasefires with opponents who extermination is the minimum serious objective - that you can't start the party up again. Bibi did, several times. This of course only applies to western countries, and especially the US in its current unserious incarnation. With Trump I'm not very concerned about it. I am assuming his comical statements about offing the first string of Iranian "leadership" constituting "regime change" are pure chin music, aimed at a mysterious audience.

Somewhere I still have (I hope) a pen with "The Falklands Are British" printed on the side.
Chile and Argentina linking up like that is pretty amazing. For those unfamiliar, as in many parts of the world, those two similar countries with not much in the way of real disputes have been pointlessly mutually hostile forever. Beagle Channel dispute - I lost track of whether it was already settled. But not impressed with Mr Chainsaw, if he's pushing this. Pointless distraction when the herculean task of rescuing Argentina from its decades of torpor has barely begun.

I don't think it pays to have an opinion about the cease fire. It could be sincere. It could be misdirection to clear human shields away from targets. It could be both, something else. My position has always been that showing up, sending multiple rungs of the Iranian chain of command to hell, blowing up some stuff, and doing it all without breaking a sweat is worthwhile in and of itself. And unlike Twitter U, I know I don't know shit and will find out when I find out, if I find out.

290 That story about the PR lady spending $12k a year to look good came up in my feed earlier today. She's a NYC transplant to Utah who claims women in New York don't spend nearly as much as Utah women do on their appearance. Call me skeptical. She also says living in a more conservative environment is a challenge. For a lefty nutcase from NYC, well, yeah.
I use soap and water and a $23 face cream. A jar lasts three months. I frequently get compliments on my complexion. I tell them, "I owe it all to clean living and a pure heart." Posted by: JuJuBee at April 07, 2026 11:53 PM (tM5h4) I finally found a cream that I like - it is the only one I have ever run across that has pink undertones rather than yellow ones. It's the only "makeup" I use. I figure I'm not the poor sap that has to look at my face, so I really don't care what everyone else sees 😂😂😂 Before I started treatment for cancer, I used to look about 10 years younger than my age. Can't claim that any more - I definitely look my age now - but I am still alive...

Argentina will preserve inshore fishing rights for the Falklanders; offshore will be Argentina's exclusive zone, where Falklanders may also fish. No muslims permitted to settle in Falklands, and English will continue as the official language there, but have Spanish taught as a second language.

I reading up on photography, after getting on that tangent reading some discussion about Apollo vs Artemis. Artemis is all digital. Apollo was all film. Don't know much about it, other than film has its pluses and minuses and digital the same. The cameras they're using on Artemis are Nikons, about 10 year old models (tried and well-tested -- you do NOT take something new fangled into space without extensive testing). They can do things with those cameras that would be impossible with Apollo film. Yet, as far as resolution goes, the Apollo film has it beat. I swear, the Apollo color photos do just sort of look better somehow, and was reading the arguments back and forth about this.

I can see where beauty crap adds up. I have never been a girly girl, but when I left SoCal in 2011, my girly friends regularly spent 250-300 to get their hair done ( cut, conditioned, highlights, blow outs, tip), 150 on facials, couple hundred to get everything from the eyebrows down waxed ( eyebrows shaped, upper lip, armpits, lady bits, legs and toes waxed, Armenian friends also had their forearms waxed) manicure/pedicure was a hundred with a tip...that's 650 right there, and that's not including Botox, which is expensive, and also doesn't include all the crap they do to their faces like microblading, micro needling, etc. And not all of it is done monthly, but it still adds up.
There is absolutely a certain class of LDS women who take this very, very seriously. I can also see where a person in PR especially in certain fields, would feel the pressure to do all that. Thank God I never have. I've lived here 15 years. One trip to the hair salon, 2, possibly 3, mani/pedis. I need to find somewhere to get my legs and such waxed, though; getting hard for me to hold a razor. Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at April 08, 2026 02:27 AM (Vvh2V) 368

U.S. President Donald J. Trump calls Wednesday a “big day for World Peace!”, following tonight’s announced two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran. Trump states that the United States will assist with the buildup of ships in the Strait of Hormuz and that reconstruction can begin in Iran. The President adds that, “We'll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just ‘hangin' around’ in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will.

Willow'd:
109 I actually got a whole meat arsenal. First was the KitchenAid tenderizer, and I also got one of those cast iron smash burger squishers. Posted by: banana Dream at April 07, 2026 06:53 PM (3uBP9) I had this one tenderizer I really loved for grilling or baking cuts of meat, with razor-sharp blades stood up in a row on a spring-loaded brace. You grab the handle, and the blades are not exposed; you push it into the meat, and the brace compresses while the blades continue on to pierce. Wham wham wham wham! Then marinate, and it soaks in deeply. The problem was, with the plastic case and fiddly bits, unfixable breakage was inevitable. It was a very disposable tool, and the more such I outlast, the more I would rather get durable ones. So I never replaced it. Posted by: SciVo at April 07, 2026 07:42 PM (Sy6m/) 26

The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows. The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria) and, of course, immediately picked up by CNN, and blared out as a "legitimate" headline. The Official Statement by Iran was just released, and posted on TRUTH, below. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible "reporting." Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future.

I asked it why are adult baptisms on the rise and it responded: Adult baptisms are rising in U.S. Catholicism due to a growing spiritual hunger among young adults seeking truth, meaning, and beauty in a secular age. Posted by: Thomas Bender at April 07, 2026 09:54 PM (XV/Pl) 116

I think this is Trump looking for an easy exit but it's possible he's just biding time.
- One can hope for the best, but this certainly looks like a win for the islamic republic. Remember that we started this particular campaign. They were content at the time to quietly build their missiles and advance their nuclear research. Because we started the fight their primary goal was to survive, which they have. The particular people are now younger, and have been promoted early, but the regime itself is the same. Second, their particular approach to the war, attack civilian infrastructure in any country they can reach, and traffic in Hormuz, until pressure was put on Trump to call of the fighting, clearly succeeded. So they accomplished both their general and specific goals for the campaign. We on the other hand are apparently getting a player to be named later. in #twoweeks. But we should celebrate because the TV tells us the fighting is over, or something. Posted by: Methos at April 07, 2026 08:21 PM (vSvIl) 58

Iran's "Supreme National Security Council" already barfing up hilarious stuff about a defeated US accepting their 10-point plan, which contains such silliness as a right to U enrichment, end of all sanctions, reparations, etc.
Oh - and the Council's description of the opening of the Strait is "via co-ordination with Iran's armed forces and with due consideration of technical limitations." Have no idea how our side will even assess whether they're complying with the Strait demand, but this doesn't sound like a very promising start.

All muslim governments murder non-muslims. That's what they do, even ouor friendly muslim governments. For that matter, I bet even nominally Christian western governments are pretty good at murder.
But your basic complaint, that we didn't achieve regime change in Iran (I assume that's where you are going), is true and I don't disagree. In the end, though, I have assumed the Persian people will decide who rules. Unless the regime still retains terroristic powers against hte population, that is.

I'm thinking the cease fire is a reasonable thing to do. I suspect the IRGC is pretty well fragmented and command is not down to the infinity levels with few if any instructions coming from Tehran. Now we have the opportunity to see where they consolidate their assets while we restock and prep for a next phase. At some point the people are going to have to establish themselves. Anything that leaves the mullahs in charge is a nonstarter.

I think the situation with Iranian radicals is like weeds in a garden. Unless you eradicate them completely, they're gonna come back. Unless we completely wipe out the IRGC and the mullahs and their associates and see a commitment to a secular government and human rights it will all just come back.
This is a weakness in our system. The mullah's know they just have to wait us out and a new president, preferably (for them) a democrat, replaces Trump and everything goes back the way it was. I think it would help immensely if a few dems came out and said they would continue the Trump doctrine if they retake the Presidency in 2028. Fat chance that will happen. More likely the flow of pallets of cash and gutless appeasement will resume. I'm sure they think Allah wills it.

57 I think this is Trump looking for an easy exit but it's possible he's just biding time.
- One can hope for the best, but this certainly looks like a win for the islamic republic. Remember that we started this particular campaign. They were content at the time to quietly build their missiles and advance their nuclear research. Because we started the fight their primary goal was to survive, which they have. The particular people are now younger, and have been promoted early, but the regime itself is the same. Second, their particular approach to the war, attack civilian infrastructure in any country they can reach, and traffic in Hormuz, until pressure was put on Trump to call of the fighting, clearly succeeded. So they accomplished both their general and specific goals for the campaign. We on the other hand are apparently getting a player to be named later. in #twoweeks. But we should celebrate because the TV tells us the fighting is over, or something. Posted by: Methos at April 07, 2026 08:21 PM (vSvIl) We don't know the details of the deal (yet).

I'm pretty done with them and leaning heavily towards genocide if if means another innocent person never has to fucking hear allah snackbar as they die by their hands.

Posted by: Diogenes at April 07, 2026 08:25 PM (2WIwB) Why? Iran's nuclear program, economy, military, government, and international terror apparatus have just been severely degraded. This country is now a basket case. It will take them years to recover the status quo ante, and we can prevent that at a time of our choosing. More importantly, regime change is not within our capabilities. It would require a lengthy ground war, and there is zero political will for it.

Crikey, I'm aware you can't magic munitions into being.
Sigh. But they were beavering around frantically after Operation Hammer last year, digging out the bombed sites, and working overtime to repair/recover. My point was simply that they will be bending every sinew to rearm.

Posted by: ace at April 07, 2026 08:13 PM (1wjle) This plus a whole lot more. We need beaucoup drones. I don't know if the pentagon failed to send military observers to the Russia-Ukraine war but we used to do that kind of thing to learn about technology, strategy and tactics in foreign wars. Iran taught Russia about drones and supplied the technology. Russia combined it with EW which they have traditionally been strong in. Israel needs to be resupplied with missile interceptors. So do the Gulf allies. So do we. We way underestimated Iranian capabilities with drones and missiles. Pakistan says Iran claims to still have 15,000 missiles and 45,000 drones. An exaggeration, surely, but they still have a lot. We simply don't have the MOPs to take out all 27 underground "missile cities" each has multiple entrances. And a coalition to effect regime change.

Gotta go get tacos but ..... Lebanon ceasefire?? WTF?? Unless IDF planned an operational pause (pretty sure they hadn't, in fact they're spinning up, adding an entire division to the operation), would be amazing if Israel accepted this.
The Hezbollah issue has be resolved, and completely (meaning Hezb is destroyed), this time. Israel will not accept living under near-constant attack, or having Iran's (dulled and degraded) dagger at their neck any longer. Extremely unlikely any "deal" will be reached with the US, notwithstanding today's drama, but zero chance any "deal" will occur where Hezbollah gets rescued.

As far as victory conditions go
Has Iran's position improved or weakened since before the war? Has the US's position improved or weakened? Did the US achieve any of its primary aims? Wars are rarely complete and total victories. Even at this point for Iran the best might that be said for them was that they weren't annihilated. Would we feel like winners if we got most of our stuff and leadership blown up and the enemy walked away because they decided a land invasion wasn't worth it?

Reality check. How long does it take to ship missiles from China to Iran? You can look this up. (I recall a really cool wall chart with major shipping routes and transit times. I tried to take it home, but it wouldn't fit in my suitcase.)
Two weeks is not enough time to bring in much of anything unless you are doing major airlift stuff, which no one but the US can do. What this does do is lower the temperature and let the US refresh its forces. Our guys have been working hard. ISR will map out what Iran is doing, so we can learn about new targeting opportunities. And of course Iran can break the ceasefire. It's expected, and then all the "illegal war of aggression" people will have to come up with another excuse. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

It's what Trump has been demanding including his Tweet Heard Round Social Media. Open the Strait. He's already said our military objectives have been met. Taking out their power plants and bridges was the threat to open the Strait. If the Strait is open at the time the deal states then the deal is off. I've said it before I don't think Trump enjoys doing anymore destruction than he has to to achieve his goals. But I do believe he will level the place if the Iranians choose death.

Posted by: runner at April 07, 2026 09:13 PM (GD0B3) I'm not an expert. I may know exactly 1 of the reported 10 points of the ceasefire. I don't know if the ceasefire is supposed to start at a specific time or based on a specific set of conditions. I haven't seen anyone reporting any of those things but lots of people are telling us... - that the ceasefire has been broken (although we don't know if it ever actually started) - it happened because Trump wanted to do x, or y, or z. - it's the stupidest thing ever and we've totally betrayed the Iranian people. Feel free to make fun of me but don't think that I'm pretending to be an expert about anything related to the conflict.

If you strike at the King, you have to kill him.

Terrorism against us and our allies is guaranteed in that case. Trump choosing the course of action he did meant the regime has to go whether he realized it or not and the uranium needs to taken and the ballistic technology removed.

Cool. Not our victory condition, though.
See, it's possible for asymmetrical victory conditions. We just wan Iran neutered for a few years. Maybe President Vance can deliver the final blow. Or President Rubio, but the important part is to wreck Iran for the next few years. - Yes, two opposing sides in a conflict don't necessarily have directly opposing goals. Which is what I was trying to explain to other posters upthread. The problem with the approach you're suggesting is it's what Israel has been doing with the terrorist groups aimed at it, at least until very recently, which results in always having to come back and kick over the anthill again in a few years' time. It doesn't actually solve the problem, and gives people an excuse to think of it as a long term 'cycle of violence.' I'd rather solve the problem once and for all and then move on to other problems.

Posted by: toby928(c) at April 07, 2026 09:38 He's done that since January. There doesn't seem to be any will for this - among the Army or the general population. This was apparently wishcasting, or bad intel. I know. I know. They're unarmed and disorganized. Blah blah. If there were any widespread desire for a rising, we'd have seen *something* by now, even if it were feeble. My suspicion is this: there are a lot of Iranians who'd like to see the regime gone, they are educated people, and the ones we see online all the time... but it's a far, far smaller proportion than the diaspora Iranians believe, or at least would have us believe, and they know if they make a move, their own countrymen will help the regime destroy them.

We might be. China gets a huge percentage of their oil from Iran, by far Iran's biggest customer. China also used to be Venezuela's biggest customer.

I wonder now if I should have mentioned the vote for Carter in my first reconciliation as a Catholic? Will ask my dude.

You have no idea what the fuck you are babbling about. If you knew shit from shinola, you might have thought about each service academy (USMA, USNA, and AFA) has a slot given to each senator and representative. Damn near every fucking college in the country has an ROTC department. The Ivy Leagues barely tolerate their ROTC departments, if at all. Posted by: Richard Cranium at April 07, 2026 11:26 PM (XDWwQ) Quick HitsChristianThat post here, linking another post containing the list of Labour MPs and councilmen who have raped or abused women. Tim Soret Jim Acosta says that now that his every deranged claim about Trump is proven true (cite?), he feels that maybe he "wasn't opiniated enough" when he had a real job in the real media. No president should mock Islam, because they'll murder civilians if he does. Nigeria Christians experienced another bloody Easter. The country experienced three separate attacks on Christians on Sunday as Christians celebrated Jesus's resurrection. The Nigerian military announced it has rescued 31 civilians kidnapped on Sunday morning during an attack on a church:Remember, Tuq'r Qarlson says the Trump tried to "eradicate" Christianity by mounting a desperate now-or-never rescue operation to save a downed pilot on Easter Sunday. Update: I listened to this Islamist asshole -- his objection was that Trump tweeted "open the fucking Strait" on Easter, which Tuq'r says in an assault on Jesus and an attempt to destroy Christianity. He was also offended that Trump would bully Iran into not attempting to sink trading ships as they peacefully sailed through the strait. It's all the most despicable Communist inversion of reality. Iran attacking shipping is just their right, Trump's demand that they stop is a gross assault that Tuq'r cannot abide. And meanwhile Tuq'r has said nothing about this demonic Muslim attack on a church on Easter. Trump using the f-word on Easter is an attack on Christianity, but his Islamist allies' literally massacring Christians at an Easter service is not an attack on Christianity.The attack occurred on Sunday morning in Ariko village, located in the Kachia area of Kaduna state. Gunmen opened fire on congregants celebrating the religious holiday, leaving five people dead at the scene. However, Caleb Maaji, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria for Kaduna state, reported a higher toll, stating that two churches in the village were targeted and seven worshippers lost their lives. "Findings are still ongoing," Mr Maaji told Reuters, noting that the precise number of those initially seized remained unclear."Regrettably, the remains of five victims already killed by the terrorists were also recovered at the scene," the army stated, as reported by The Washington Post. "The fleeing terrorists are believed to have sustained significant casualties, as evidenced by blood trails along their escape routes." The residents said the terrorists operated "in the area for an extended period before encountering any resistance from security forces." In another attack, the Mbalom community's residents told officials that terrorists slaughtered 17 people. Because he's a scumbag woke Islamist propagandist.

Then I went to France and ate wine and cheese while not visiting the no-go zones because well, that's how the Muslims like it, you know, being segregated from us dirty non-believers, like in Michigan today or Mississippi in 1962.

"Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Iran submitted a "workable" 10-point proposal?? OK. Guess we'll see. Trump's flair with language and verbal hucksterism usually don't hurt anything, they just make it impossible assess things until actions occur and dust settles.
Last reported Iranian counter-offers were ludicrous demands of the sort a winning side would impose. Possibly the tune has changed, but if so musta been a doozy of a change. Penn's remarks on the absurd senatorial vomitus are weak, but absolutely the norm any more. He changes the subject. The claim that attacks on duel-use infrastructure is a "war crime" is absolutely illiterate and incorrect. Penn should start by laying that out. But I doubt he understand the subject either. It's rare to find any well-reasoned refutation of the childish garbage that now is almost all that one hears from "critics" and ankle-biters. Sad!

The Hill: Ocasio-Cortez tells military chain of command to refuse ‘illegal orders’ in Iran. “This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote Tuesday in a post on the social platform X. “The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.”
“To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat,” the lawmaker continued. This is the energy we need, even if it feels routine. Everyone constantly rushes to comment stuff like "doesn't matter, the baddies will do what they want," which just gives the baddies permission to do what they want. All we need to do is speak out, every time, and never stop, because the fascists aren't stopping. Trump purged the DoD of anybody that would resist an order. Remember all those important Generals getting fired or just quitting? We actually needed those. Those are the types to stop 'illegal orders'. Remember recent reports that military leaders were giddy with excitement about being "instrumental in bringing the 2nd coming of jesus and the rapture" Those types are not refusing anything.

Sketchy at best. Because, especially now, most men don't get authority by leadership. Its a system that rewards the worst. The ones that seek authority. Now apply that to a woman.

When they are gone someone will have to go and and clear out whatever vermin takes up residence. Russia? Naw, China and Russia are going to keep each other occupied. Former Eastern Block? I agree they have become more important as of late but see they have some electorial problems themselves. Whatever is killing England will kill us and should be rooted out. Now if the left takes back control then none of that matters because we're all up shitcreek.

Documents have been declassified EXACTLY about this. Thank Jimmy Carter. Jimmy was a "humanitarian" ... at least in his own mind. He thought the Shah was too heavy handed. So while the Shah came to the US for surgery, Carter's CIA completed a months long campaign and the Ayatollah took charge. The documents exist. Our Government was in direct contact with the Muslims.

"Drill baby drill", or rather its real world implementation, is in full swing, was instituted the minute Trump returned to office, and of course had dramatic impact on energy prices up until the war began. It will continue now and after the festivities are concluded (however that takes shape).
It would be nice if once in a while an administration official or the prez his own self would somehow shoehorn into their public statements this central critical fact so that the remaining sliver of somewhat thoughtful Americans could remember the context in which this short-term price spike is occurring.

IIRC, Carter thought the 'austere Islamic scholar' Ayatollah Khomeini was better for Iran than the Shah.
About the only act of moral courage Carter ever displayed was refusing to send the Shah back to Iran after the coup. But that lead to Carter's 444 days of humiliation. Posted by: Anna Puma at April 07, 2026 07:06 PM (2GVsD) 179

President Trump has given them days of warnings.
8pm EST is 0430am in Iran. I hope Christians are hiding or smuggled out of the areas that are going to be bombed. I hope the barbarians of eeslam are going to vaporize into pink mist and have virgins of goats with chlamydia in hell (well and stuff that burns even worse than herpes).

They are afraid of the Muslims in their midst and realize that their military is in tatters, and they cannot respond even if they wanted to.

What is the state of the SPR after Joey Bidet's many drawdowns?
Posted by: Anna Puma at April 07, 2026 07:30 PM (2GVsD) The current inventory is displayed on the SPR's website.[3] As of March 7, 2025, the inventory was 395.3 million barrels (62,850,000 m3). This equates to about 19 days of oil at 2023 daily U.S. consumption levels of 20.275 million barrels per day (3,223,500 m3/d)[4] or 47 days of oil at 2024 daily U.S. import levels of 8.420 million barrels per day (1,338,700 m3/d).[5] However, the maximum total withdrawal capability from the SPR is only 4.4 million barrels per day (700,000 m3/d), so it would take about 90 days to use the entire inventory. At recent market prices ($66 a barrel as of March 2025),[6] the SPR holds over $9.5 billion in sweet crude and approximately $12.9 billion in sour crude (assuming a $15/barrel discount for sulfur content).

That textbook chart just shows there is no such thing as a politician who takes a right wing position on economics. Where would Milton Friedman's economic positions put someone on this chart?
On a related note, M2 grew at an 11% (annualized) rate in February. That's before the Iran war. We might be longing for Bidenflation soon, although not before the midterms due to the lag before the money supply growth manifests itself in prices to give the banks the opportunity to squeeze every last drop of juice from the cantillon effect.

One factor that’s hard to evaluate is that the Iranian economy has completely collapsed; this war has allowed the government to use martial law to forbid anyone talking about it. But the Iranian currency is now worthless, and last time it was measured inflation in Iran was running at about 200% annually. After all the eliminations, there’s really not a lot of civil government left.

I’ve seen so many posts and replies to my posts from people who continue to make excuses for the lack of fierce bravery and clarity from the top Dems. All I get is emails asking for money.

Their entire policy system is based around keeping their social services going, no matter what it costs them. They can see they are totally unable to maintain much longer, so they are trying to find answers to how to keep it going. So flooding the nation with cheap labor felt like an answer.

Posted by: Coelacanth at April 07, 2026 09:37 PM (DJPFk) Gavin Newsom Directs $19 Million in California Taxpayer Money to Madison Avenue to Improve California's Reputation -- Just as Gavin Newsom Is Running for President and Personally Needs California's Image to be RemadeWow, a Democrat taking taxpayer money for his own personal benefit. I gotta tell you guys, I did not see this one coming. It just snuck up on me.Gov. Gavin Newsom is hoping to to boost California's tarnished image on the national stage -- so he's throwing millions in taxpayer money at a high-powered New York public relations firm to do it for him. The governor's Office of Business and Economic Development awarded PR powerhouse Edelman a contract worth up to $19 million to burnish the Golden State's reputation, KCRA reported. Edelman -- which also does work on behalf of mega-companies like Dove, Starbucks, eBay and Heineken -- will be tasked with combating "negative narratives amplified online and in partisan media" about California while promoting the state's economy and tourism. ... The contract begins on April 6 and will run through then end of the year, which nearly coincides with end of the governor's term in early 2027.Oh you mean January 2027, as the official primary season begins in earnest. How convenient. The state agency previously told the outlet that the campaign wouldn't be about Newsom himself, but California. "The campaign will tell the California story, not the Gavin Newsom story," the agency said. "The effort is about California's success, not about politics."Uh-huh. You're just rebutting "partisan narratives" but not for any partisan purpose. Sure. Weird that he didn't want to tell this "true story" in years when he wasn't running for president. People and businesses have been fleeing California for six years, you know. ... News of the contract drew ample criticism. "Gavin Newsom is giving 19 million California taxpayer dollars to a New York PR firm to promote California in a better light to the nation. Which does not at all sound like Gavin Newsom is making a presidential campaign ad for himself," Kevin Dalton, who ran for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, wrote on X.Speaking of California politicians raiding the public fisc for their own benefit and to pay off their donors: Gavin Newsom's Obama-Biden boondoggle to spend tens of billions of dollars on a "high speed train" from LA to San Francisco -- when that route is well-serviced by planes and, well, a nice car ride if you have half a day to spare -- that even 60 Minutes noticed.

I did this on purpose and got into more trouble (it was worth it). This crime was pretty hard to deny and I've never been a liar. However, this didn't kill him and he fake cried to get me into more trouble. If I were Candace Owens I would open an investigation about this golf cart "mistake." I also feel sure NYC is worried about his PR when people are crapping and having sex on their sidewalks under Mayor Mondingo.Which should encourage tourism.

Gavin Newsom's wife recalls telling prisoners at San Quentin about running over and killing her sister with a golf cart.
She said that she wasn't punished because it was an accident but that the prisoners are doing life even though theirs was "probably an accident too." -------- That is an insane comment—every bit of it.

This woman should get the same press but she won't. Because killing your older sister with a golf cart is no big deal with liberals. She wasn't three years old, she was six. I was smarter than that at six and would know not to hijack a golf cart to go anywhere, much less back over my sister. I had enough sense at 6yrs old to walk home from elementary school and cross streets, one busy. Granted only once alone for being kept after school and I was pretty freaked out, but I did it. To compare this "accident" to heaven knows the crimes of men she was talking to is absurd. She might as well have said she popped a zit and it was as tramatizing as a gunshot and sucking chest wound.

From Fox News:
Gavin Newsom's in-laws fled from California to Florida during the pandemic, records show. Fox News Digital previously learned the Siebel family trust made a donation to a Ron DeSantis PAC EXCLUSIVE: Not only did the in-laws of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom give money to one of his biggest political foes; they fled from his state during the pandemic. Kenneth F. Siebel Jr. and Judith A. Siebel, parents of Newsom's wife Jennifer Siebel and longtime California residents, became Florida residents in 2020 after purchasing a $3.3 million Naples home in March of that year, records show. The Siebels appear to still have ownership of their California home in northern San Francisco suburb of Ross. Newsom's in-laws, however, officially became registered voters in the Sunshine State as of June 2020. Kenneth Siebel is a registered Republican while Judith Siebel has no party affiliation.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

If the Iranians do it themselves with a little help and support from us it stands a good chance of sticking as opposed to something forced from the outside.

"People and businesses have been fleeing Cacafornia".
Yeah, including us. We bought a delightful house in the suburbs of Sacramento in 1984. Great place. Nice state, nice city, nice people - until about 2015 or so, when the business climate got worse, and the politics got worse, and the conditions of the roads got LOTS worse. Finally, in 2019, my wife was watching something on TV and Navin Gruesome said that he was going to send sheriff's deputies door to door to collect all the guns. She turned to me and said "We need to get out of California!". This, from a woman who had spent her ENTIRE LIFE in CA, other than 3 years in the Philippines when I was in the Navy. It was a good time to go; I was over 69, and our house was paid off, so I retired from my job, we put our house on the market, she started researching places in Texas. Then Covid happened, so we hunkered down as we did internet research. She found a delightful house on the distant outskirts of San Antonio, bought it sight-unseen (you can do AMAZING THINGS with Google Maps, Zillow, and a great local realtor) packed up the guns and cats and essentials into a 27ft RV, and drove 6 days to Texas. And here we are! Posted by: Ken Mitchell at April 07, 2026 06:10 PM (R90/z) 213

Speaking of reputations, I was listening to NPR on the way home from the dentist a few minutes ago, and they weren't hyperventilating about Trump's deadline for ending Iranian civilization.
They were comparing religious extremism in Iran (particularly on the part of AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI) with religious extremism in America (particularly on the part of SECRETARY HEGSETH). Christian Nationalists want to end democracy in America and beyond! They say you can look up their podcasts on Iranian religious extremism (yesterday) and American religious extremism (today).

Candace Popeye reporting:
The accident was DAYS before her 7th birthday. In Hawaii. Many children playing around golf carts (who knows where the parents were?). She did not know that Sissy was "hiding" behind the golf cart she reversed and murder she rode. I realize with a normal person not married to a scumbag I would have more sympathy. Did she tell this story in 2023 to "get ahead" of it? I know I don't often tell of hurling my brother up a stairwell in the event I am suddenly famous. For starters only his pride was hurt. Also, too bad in the war of siblings for survival. Seven years old, Miz Newscumbag. Days before 7yrs is more telling than six years and little pig tails of oopsie.

Read of her weeping jag in trial of Fat Weinstein.
The usual story of his white bathrobe of hotel horror. She went to the hotel room, "thinking others would be there." Right. Sure. As he masterbated pete she pretended to orgasm. Sure. I would have found a knife or other weapon and there would be blood all over his hotel robe, the walls, the balcony. And he'd forevermore pee like a girl. Then she dated Clooney, who we know is a faggot. I guess a ritual of being a beard. He and Julia Robert's ugly husband are rumored to be more than friends.

The Democrat Party apparatus is completely, 1000% captured by the rabid Left. No candidate is different from any other. Their voters will pretend to believe any candidate they're given will be great - no matter what.
2028 will completely come down to turnout by GOP voters. That's it, that's all she wrote, and the Party's choice of candidate affects literally nothing. Nobody should waste any time on which candidate is more beatable, because the answer is nobody. They shouldn't waste any thinking about which would be the worst threat as President, because the answer is all of them. And whoever the GOP candidate is shouldn't bother running against them or their records, because none of their voters give a rat's ass about the fact that they're all malevolent retards and perverts, and absolutely no revelation will suppress their turnout. All they should worry about is jacking up their own base and their own moderates with a positive message, because their voters actually do care about that stuff. Forget the Democrats.

For someone who has 4 children and was a Republican before she met her husband, she sure does seem eager to help OTHER women get rid of their unborn babies.
Perfectly typical. The support of abortion, for women, is the idea that their daughters want to screw but not carry the baby alone. Then, passing that ? The idea that the cunt whore next door not saddle their son with an unwanted welp. Or - passing that ? That the cunt whore next door doesn't saddle society with the welp. Women are not maternal when it comes to welps outside the circle. Not in the least. Posted by: Yep at April 07, 2026 07:56 PM (IsJ5o) Sons and Nieces of High-Ranking Islamic Occupation Army of Iran Officials Have Been Living High on the Hog In the US -- But Are Now Getting Their Satanic Asses Deported Back to Their Homeland HellholeThe son of a notorious Iranian regime leader is enjoying an affluent lifestyle in Los Angeles, the California Post can reveal. Campaigners are calling for Eissa Hashemi, 43, to be investigated and deported for defiantly refusing to denounce his mother's sickening past. On Monday, he appeared unfazed by the controversy and defiantly brushed off a reporter's questions, declining to speak after a workout at his fancy gym. The college psychology lecturer is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, known as "Screaming Mary," who acted as spokesperson for violent militants who stormed the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. She was infamous worldwide for firing off twisted propaganda during the crisis, even encouraging captives to describe the punishing ordeal in glowing terms. Ebtekar was later promoted to Vice President for Women and Family Affairs by regime leaders -- becoming the country's first female VP and one of the highest-ranking women in the Muslim world today. In January, protestors gathered at the $20,000 a year Chicago School in in Claremont, east LA, and other teaching institutions in the area with links to Hashemi, for rallies calling for him to be deported. Organizers of Change.org petitions want Hashemi to be kicked out of the country. One wrote: "While the mother has no regret of occupying the US embassy in Tehran, many Iranians have been affected by this action while her own son has taken advantage of living in the US. "We want Issa Hashemi and his wife, Maryam Tahmasebi to be fired from the US as soon as possible." A poster on Instagram said: "Mr. Hashemi has never publicly distanced himself from his mother's actions or legacy." ...Okay, he's not being deported. Yet. But the pampered niece and grand-niece of Iran's top terror commander and Austere Religious Scholar Qasem Soleimani -- assassinated by airstrike by Trump in his first term -- were just arrested by ICE and scheduled for deportation.
Iran on Monday hanged a man convicted in connection with nationwide protests in January. Early morning executions have become near-daily events under the cover of the war against Israel and the United States. Most of those executed are young men, including teens, alleged to have been either involved in the protests that were brutally suppressed by the regime -- with thousands shot dead in the streets -- or members of banned opposition groups. Undeterred by the war, the Islamic Republic continues to exact its revenge, and exiled opposition groups and rights organizations said they feared that hundreds more could be executed in the coming days. Ali Fahim, 23, was hanged Monday after being found guilty of involvement in an attack on a Tehran base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Basij militia during the protests, according to rights groups who have followed the case. The judiciary's Mizan Online website described him as "one of the enemy elements in the terrorist riots," and said he was hanged after the supreme court approved the original verdict.It sounds like they accused him of messaging the checkpoint's location to Israel or the US.

Sidebar Ace:
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. He's talking about Sammy Hagar's "I'll Fall in Love Again", from his Standing Hampton album. Evidence that the song is NOT obscure: 1. The album generated 5 charting singles, of which that song is one. 2. The song was on the soundtrack of Vision Quest. 3. And the slam-dunk final bit of proof: the song is currently on my personal playlist. One thing I would rate as obscure though, is how the album got its name: It was a British fan who told him of the term that came to be the title. In Cockney rhyming slang, a "Hampton" is a substitution for penis (Hampton Wick rhymes with "Dick"). One that is "standing" would be a reference to an erection.

144 >>>Chinese and Russians are urging Iran to hold on and not cut a deal. They’re betting exactly what you said Ace. They think if Iran hangs on long enough Trump will fold and give them a better deal. This is now dragging on the economy and people’s daily cost of living. If inflation creeps up we’re going to lose everything we gained. Trump knows that. So does the enemy. That’s also why I don’t think the power plant bombing is a bluff. Only a bold move will end this.
yeah that's how I see it but I don't think the power plant bombing will change the situation. It'll just be the IRGC that has power (via personal generators) while everyone else goes without.

I don't know why the media keeps saying the 2 gals lived a lavish lifestyle in Hollywood. The niece bought a home in Tujunga, which is a middle class area, for 500K 3-4 years ago. She rented out the bungalow-style home to a piano tuner and lived in a crappy looking ADU behind the home. There were photos of her Tesla with Hermes pillows strewn around with some other shopping bags etc. But other than that, nothing screamed lavish at all.

Trump and other officials have outlined the requirements of a ceasefire since day one.
The end of the ballistic missile program is one element of that. There's also the end of nuclear weapons pursuit and the end of funding terrorist proxies.

Most people in the Wesh have no idea how many of the Iranian elites have sent their children to schools and "refugee centers" where they can grow up in a non-mullah environment as well as have oversight of the family wealth that had been smuggled out of Iran. Literally thousands of kids. In Germany, England, France, and elsewhere. Upon reaching adulthood, they would apply for schooling in England, Canada and the US, thereby evading any return back to Iran.

217 I don't know why the media keeps saying the 2 gals lived a lavish lifestyle in Hollywood. The niece bought a home in Tujunga, which is a middle class area, for 500K 3-4 years ago. She rented out the bungalow-style home to a piano tuner and lived in a crappy looking ADU behind the home. There were photos of her Tesla with Hermes pillows strewn around with some other shopping bags etc. But other than that, nothing screamed lavish at all.

It's not like Star Wars is complicated. It's basic hero journey stuff in space, but Brooks never touches on it. I guess that's the line between parody and satire.

I want Iran's ability to rise from the ashes with nukes gone.I want 1979 Persia.
I do feel for innocent babies and children. I hope the good people who want the evil barbarians are safely out of range of what may be coming. We don't know squat. Remember that. Mossad and others know what is going on and, I hope, have helped get good people hidden, given food and water, etc. I will pray to God about this, as I have read many have secretly converted. I am not Cruella. Ok, sometimes I am, but not about babies or children. Barbarian terrorists, you betcha. Turn to mist and leave none behind to grow evil.

Counterpoint: Romania was by no means in as dire a situation as Iran in '89, and the masses of the country lashed out and toppled the regime armed only with rage. The Army simply defected en masse and turned on Securitate and Ceausescu once they read the room.
I have no idea if that's possible with Iran, but we can't know because they haven't tried. I think they believe (with good reason) that the regime only needs to hold out for a few weeks to break the weak-to-nonexistent will of the American people, and then Trump will cut a deal to end this, so nobody wants to climb out on any limb. As such, they will squander their best opportunity to take back their country. If they don't want it, then fine. That's on them. We've crippled Iran, it will take years for them to approach anything like status quo ante, build back a nuclear program, wage war in the Middle East, and so on. We can always come back and repeat this as needed. I hope this is the last prompt they get. Do it or don't, people. But the fence-sitting is NOT helping your cause.

The rumor/meme/propaganda I've seen today was "Trump is looking to back away from the Iran war".
But I think that comes from those that thought the war was a huge mistake, and that Iran is another Iraq. A different opinion is that "boots on the ground" are not so essential to win the war, because today we have so much more tech, and can in real time observe their movements and bomb them hours or maybe minutes later. We also have perhaps 70% of the population on "our side". And if we are really cratering their deep tunnels and caves, and bombing them when they try to repair, perhaps we don't need boots on the ground. It would be nice to kill the IRGC that are still murdering the 70% resistance. Not sure of the best way to accomplish that. Maybe their non IRGC army would be less murderous. Seems we are only killing the IRGC higher ups, not the "other army". Posted by: illiniwek at April 07, 2026 05:37 PM (vbXSk) 341

Posted by: Oldcat at April 07, 2026 06:51 PM (8avO+) Chinese Spy Humper and Treasonous Russia Hoaxer Eric Swalwell Accused of Sexual Harassment and Misusing FundsWow, a Democrat who uses his office to enrich himself and predate* upon underlings. I shan't believe it. I simply shannot. But believe all women amitire MD Kittle at The Federalist:The office of Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., offers internships "for college students to gain valuable work experience ... [and] absorb the many functions of a Congressional office." If the growing harassment allegations against the leftist lawmaker and leading Democrat candidate for California governor are true, Congress may want to put the kibosh on Swalwell's tutelage program for young women. It seems the accomplice media has been too busy falling all over themselves in their absurd attempt to make Swalwell a martyr of President Donald Trump's "weaponization of law enforcement" to pay much attention to the women coming forward accusing the swamp rat of inappropriate sexual conduct. Swalwell's flacks are furiously trying to explain away why the smarmy Democrat's campaign spent north of $300,000 on "private attorneys who specialize in white-collar criminal defense and employment law." They told KCRA 3 in Sacramento the payments were for legal guidance to fend off Trump's "retaliatory investigations" into Swalwell that have "put his family and staff at risk." After all, If you can't trust a morally corrupt congressman who fervently peddled the Russia collusion hoax, who can you trust? 'Pattern of Manipulation and Abuse of Power' Cheyenne Hunt, a Democrat who in 2024 ran unsuccessfully for California's 45th Congressional District seat, posted on her social media sites that she has been "working with a number of women who are in the process of coming forward and sharing their stories of sexual harassment and even alleged abuse at the hands of Eric Swalwell." Hunt, who serves as executive director of the liberal organization Gen-Z for Change, claims a "major news outlet" is preparing to publish a story on the allegations. "So let me be as clear and transparent about that as I safely can be," she said in a video posted to her Facebook page. "I am personally working with a group of women who want to come forward and share their stories. I am also aware of a much larger group that is also in this process that I am not personally working with." Hunt says the group has pro bono legal representation to protect the victims' "legal and physical safety" as they share their experiences about Swalwell, adding that a number of women have come forward since a previous post last month. In that post she accused Swalwell of having a "predatory history toward women."Meanwhile, Trump appears to have made a major mistake in California. He endorsed Republican Steve Hilton for governor. The problem is that this is a jungle primary and there was no need to endorse either Republican yet -- both can win the jungle primary and then face each other mano a mano -- no Democrat candidate! -- in the general. But this means it's likely that Hilton will cannibalize a big chunk of his Republican rival's support, and easily win the jungle primary -- along with a Democrat, who will then go on to easily beat him. This is Mark Halperin's analysis but I don't see any fault with it. The only way a Republican can win in California -- unless Californians are finally so sick of Democrats they'll go against 50 years of voting history for a change -- is to run against another Republican. This increases the odds that Hilton will lose the governor's race.
The Chinese sent Fang Fang to honeypot VDH, too. But he said it was an obvious honeytrap and told her to try her luck with someone with less control over his bowels. Cruel.

But that will never happen - even if two Republicans win the jungle primary, a judge will find a justification for also putting a Democrat on the ballot for the general election. It's California. That would be complicated and embarrassing, however, so they are going after Swalwell simply to knock him out of the race, thus ensuring that a Democrat will finish in the top two.

The Democrats have a super majority in both the CA Assembly and Senate. That means any GOP agenda is DOA.
They can over ride any veto, push any initiatives and keep selling the state to the Teachers Union, the SEIU and the Trial Lawyers, just as they have for years. The last GOP Governor, Arnold, tried putting 5 reform initiatives on the ballot to "blow up the boxes". The unions funded huge ad campaigns and all 5 went down to defeat. His popularity rating went from mid-60's to mid-30's. At which point he hired Grey Davis's old Chief of Staff to be his CoS and his whole agenda changed. California is a lost cause, sadly.

The Swalwell's - Eric and Brittany - like to pretend she's his first wife. She's absolutely not.
The first, I believe, was from South America; lovely girl, swept out of the picture very quickly between "the borders are secure" formerly alleged by the Democrats and the Fang-Fang story.

Isn't sexual harassment the Democratic equivalent of smoking a doobie? If you're not doing it, you're not cool. When your party has no moral standards, this seems silly.
Besides, the interns were warned ahead of time. "The office of Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., offers internships "for college students to gain valuable work experience ... [and] absorb the many functions of a Congressional office." "absorb the many functions" is obviously code. Posted by: Stateless - He ain't heavy, he's my dog.

It's California. That would be complicated and embarrassing, however, so they are going after Swalwell simply to knock him out of the race, thus ensuring that a Democrat will finish in the top two. Posted by: The ARC of History! at April 07, 2026 03:29 PM (n1OCj) Two Republicans were never going to make it to general, it's just wishcasting based on an early poll in a crowded primary before people have had a chance to coalesce around the frontrunners. Your scenario would never happen as well. Dems wouldn't care about a single term GOP gov, they have a supermajority in the legislature that can override a veto anyway.

There's basically zero chance of CA electing a GOP governor these days anyway, so Trump's "blunder" in endorsing a candidate now is pretty irrelevant anyway. The Dems nit only have a majority in the state assembly, they have a super-majority, and can pass any bill without debate -- which they do regularly. Any GO governor, even if elected, would be impeached and kicked out -- with no debate, no hearings -- within hours of taking office. We basically already live in a communist dictatorship here in California.

61 Afternoon, All.
Maybe somebody has already mentioned this, but a tanker exploded under the Bridge of the Americas, which spans the Pacific side of the Panama Canal. Could've collapsed the bridge into the Canal and blocked it, but fortunately they got the fire put out before that happened. Imagine if the Panama Canal and the Strait of Hormuz were blocked at the same time. Not a pleasant scenario to contemplate. Posted by: Bulg I would not be surprised if it's China. They don't get anything from us and we cut off their Venezuela source, AND took the Panama Canal back from them. Iran still most likely, but can't rule out the commies.

I can write that off as a mistake. I can’t ignore that AIPAC Eric has an AI startup that he’s been pitching to other members of Congress while running to govern Silicon Valley. Only one candidate isn’t compromised by corporations and can tackle big tech and billionaires: Porter. So, Swalwell was at the Bruce Springsteen show in Portland last night with a 20-ish year old woman. I assumed she was his daughter until I looked at a photo of his family today. Sometimes everyone comes at you because you're the 'leader'. Other times, it's just because everyone hates you. I guess time will tell which one this is. God please not swalwell for Governor. Being hated by everyone probably just means you suck, not that you are a good candidate. The idea that being hated means you are moderate and therefore good is so stupid.

He should have said that. Seriously. Decades ago when I was young. The USSR sent a trade delegation to Cincinnati in the 80's. Set up in the Union terminal. I was in sales so basically doing nothing. So i went. There was no one there except me and like half a dozen Russians. There was one lady, 30 ish. Not great looking but okay. Nice hooters. I walked around a bit and one of the old guys was talking to her in Russia and pointing towards me. She came over and started talking to me. How wonderful Russia was etc. Standing close to me. THe old guy comes up from behind her with like a giant old camera with like the accordion bellows looking extension and a separate handheld flash bulb. He tries to take my picture, as he was going to do it, I stepped back so she was blocking me. He wound up taking a picture of nothing. He got mad and started yelling at her. I left. I don't think it was a honey pot, but it was pretty obvious that the last thing in the world she wanted to do was to talk to me and her boss was making her. I should have stayed.

I attended the Trump rally in Riverside County and exiting the venue was a scene straight out of Thunderdome. Didn't know who Chad Bianco was at the time, but then they arrested some nutcase late in the proceedings and Bianco was suddenly all over the place patting himself on the back. Think they ended up bringing no charges against the arrestee. Then I found out that he was responsible for the traffic management that night.
He appears to be pretty well funded. I think Trump has some knowledge of how things went down at that rally and figured he'd be no better than Newsome.

Totally Off-Topic:
I was just flipping around on TV and I noticed that: There are a bunch of similar movies (and series) about hitmen who get Alzheimers'. Is that a thing do we need a charity for forgetful hitmen now? Do something different Hollywood! Hitmen with IBS or Lactose Intolerance. Now there's drama...about too make a hit then Oh no! Get on it, hollywood!

...Politics is generally an awful place, but the more machine a jurisdiction is, the more overt the incentives for bad behavior proliferate.

So Democrats, Iranians, Chinese and the UN are all on the same page, saying if Trump bombs the power plants it’s a “war crime”. lol.
Oh and Democrats are going to impeach him. Double lol. Posted by: Vengeance at April 07, 2026 04:28 PM (f4tQo) 305
Look into Delaware. The money that flows through that backwards ass little State is incredible.

TUCKER CARLSON: "If you work in the White House or in the US military, now is the time to say NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT or resign." ----- The only people who will listen to this and act on it are people who will undermine Trump. So...do it. Posted by: TheJamesMadison ---- Here's my big problem with such babble, dear: Where and for whom does son Buckley (NOT Buckley the also idiot brother) work? Last I heard was still: Buckley Carlson (born c. 1997) is the son of conservative media personality Tucker Carlson and currently serves as the Deputy Press Secretary for Vice President JD Vance, a role he began in January 2025.

The EU, too, it seems. Euro News, "Don't commit war crimes in Iran, EU urges Trump as deadline looms" Donald Trump's threat to strike Iran's bridges and power plants has raised the prospect of war crimes. The EU insists all sides should respect international law and exercise "maximum restraint". 👉HOWEVER, The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and does not recognize its jurisdiction over American citizens. While the U.S. signed the treaty in 2000, it never ratified it, and the signature was later formally withdrawn, citing concerns over sovereignty, constitutional conflicts, and the potential prosecution of U.S. military personnel. And yet, Jack Smith. Posted by: L - No nic.... at April 07, 2026 04:41 PM (NFX2v) 312

To mitigate the damage, Trump can also say positive things about other repub candidates, later be critical of Hilton, etc, to the point the original endorsement is watered down to being near meaningless.
Everyone knows Trump says lots of things and that can be used to undo the damage, at least somewhat. Posted by: Pooklord at April 07, 2026 04:55 PM (asU3w) 314
--Swalwell's flacks are furiously trying to explain away why the smarmy Democrat's campaign spent north of $300,000 on "private attorneys who specialize in white-collar criminal defense and employment law."
Brilliant. Rather than pay legal fees to defend yourself, which would be post-tax cash out, just run for something, get rubes to donate to the campaign, and have the campaign pay for your defense. You spend nothing and your "campaign" is able to deduct it all. Posted by: Rdubs at April 07, 2026 05:49 PM (Hsq0h) 315
Look can we stop spreading the unfounded rumor that Swalwell had sex with FangFang.
We all know it's 100x more likely she was pegging him. Posted by: Rbastid at April 07, 2026 06:16 PM (nNaMR) Schmoll: In 2006, Democrats Led in Net Favorability by 18 Points. In 2018, by 12. And Now?
